Description

The listing, 5 Black Bat Flower Seeds "Tacca chantrieri" has ended.

Tacca chantrieri 'Black Bat Plant'- A most unusual plant introduced from parts of Malaysia, India, and East Asia, the Bat Plant will make you look twice. The main attraction of the plant is the strange, unique, purple-black flowers. The flowers superficially resemble a bat in flight with long whiskers, and can grow up to 10 inches long. Taccas can be picky about their environmental conditions; however they grow fast and flower a lot when the conditions are just right. The Bat Plant should be planted in partial shade and in a humid and warm environment. Soil should remain consistently moist, not allowing the plant to dry out between waterings. In winter months, when temperatures drop to 40F or lower, the Bat Plant should be moved indoors, or into a greenhouse to protect it from cold damage. Makes a great container plant and is a real conversation piece.

Must be Listia Verified. Thank You.

I soaked my seeds in warm water for a day and a half and the seeds started sprouting in the jar. Transferred seed to a pot with potting soil and covered with plastic.Growing good.

No man thank u these flowers are just so beautiful and very unique. And I'm guessing very rare right

Probably easier to find as seeds if you know where to look. More expensive to to locate at the "upscale" nurseries. The problem is most of these rare and exotic plants can be temperamental and need to be babied a bit. :-) I raise Clivia myself and they can be quite demanding and won't bloom if you don't give them the proper cooling off period in the winter and a drought period at the same time. Starting them from seed is a chore and have to be careful about cross pollination.

Edible seeds?

It's an exotic plant, I have never heard of anyone eating the seeds.
